I suspect the information in this column might come as a surprise to you. The disastrous effects of GMO contamination by greedy chemical companies are just coming out of the shadows. Leave it to Monsanto to use their financial clout to cover up the danger they are inflicting on our Planet.

What are GMO's anyway? Genetically Modified Organisms are created when genes from one species, such as bacteria, viruses or human, are forced into the DNA of another crop, or even into animals to produce new traits. This relatively new technology is becoming more and more widespread as chemical companies keep creating new strains of DNA altered seeds, and forcing farmers to use them.

Genetically tinkered food is so anti-nature, it's practically science fiction! The human body is simply not designed to handle foods that are altered in this way, and the result is more sickness and pain.

Glycophosate contamination of air and rain that poisons waterways with a genetically engineered bug-killing protein.

A proliferation of new organisms found to be responsible for disease and sudden death in both plants and mammals related specifically to genetically engineered crops.

Since our government, and most food suppliers are not protecting us, our only choice is to buy USDA 100% Organic products whenever possible, (as these do not permit GM ingredients).

I often wonder why products that contain pesticides, hormones, artificial colors, flavors, additives can even be allowed to be called foods. Foods are meant to nourish us, not poison us! Since the majority of the GMO's come from processed foods, it's best to avoid them and start cooking from scratch with carefully washed fresh fruit and vegetables, or organically grown foods whenever possible.
